News Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Yoshi Flower has my heart right now, and it’s because his unique sound is like a refresh button for my musical palette. This week, I challenged myself to find a new artist and test out a new genre I had not really listened to, and Yoshi Flower definitely fit the criteria perfectly. If you haven’t heard of him yet, I think it’s about time to get acquainted. The Detroit-born musician is a newly signed-Interscope Records (via Rock Mafia) artist with a truly eclectic sound. In the past, the artist has collaborated with Elohim and has opened for Princess Nokia and Flint Eastwood. Next Flower will be opening for SG Lewis on his tour this fall! Tour dates below. So, what’s pretty special about his sound? His very chill music is hypnotic and melancholic. It’s almost eerie in the way he plays with the rejoicing sounds of the compositions by warping them into more cynical tunes. The electronic/hip-hop beats entwined by the voices remind me of two acts I really like: Blackbear and The Neighbourhood. The dark features take over the productions and draw you into the edgy multi-genre records that Flower creates. Recently, Flower released two new singles, “Brown Paper Bag” and “Just Cuz We’re Paranoid Doesn’t Mean They’re Not Onto Us”. The first single was premiered on Zane Lowe’s World First on Beats 1 Radio on Apple Music two weeks ago and his second track has been receiving it’s own praise. Both records own a sort of aggravated and dynamic character to them. “Just Cuz We’re Paranoid Doesn’t Mean They’re Not Onto Us” has an aggressive grind to it and a malicious, evil-villain kind of tone, but his voice is just soft enough to pull back into the melody. In “Brown Paper Bag” the music is definitely a mix in tonality where for one second the music is serene and the next it’s viciously biting with heavy beats and fierce guitar riffs. I’m curious to find out where this artist will take his music and what kind of project he will put out as a whole when the time comes.
